Waiting for Exciting Things on My Birthday.

Sooo I thought this would be an interesting thing to post... maybe it isn't lol... idk but here it is anyway... Since I talked about the excitements of my 21st birthday... I thought I would tell you about the times when I had to do something kind of boring before the fun stuff!

So the weekend before my 15th birthday I had a Saturday detention. I know right? I had just gotten to high school- it was when Camera Phones were new and they didn't allow them at school... so they took it away for a month and gave me a Saturday Detention because I forgot to turn the ringer off and someone called in class. Side Note: I've been getting wrong number calls for as long as I've had this phone... so it wasn't even a right number. And Me being the Arrested Development obsessed teen that I was- my ringtone was The Final Countdown... so of corse everyone could hear it and everyone that knew me pretty well knew it was me.

And my parents didn't really care that I got a Saturday... they got me the phone before I went to the school- I was a good kid and I didn't use it in class or anything... so afterwards we took a train to New York because I had really wanted to go to Serendipity for dinner.There was a movie about it, Oprah talked about it and I just really really wanted to see it.

So the train was kind of a wait... it was pretty bad because it was packed and some couple was trying to sit on the bench with us and the woman said "So are you going to move or what" and like... REALLY? I didn't have to move- she could have stood the whole time just because she was being so damn rude... but whatever... I didn't think to just say "Or what" at the time... if it ever happens again I will. I've been thinking about this for over 10 years so clearly... I'm just waiting for someone to be rude so that I can get my revenge on this one lady.

Anyway then guess what was at Serendipity? A wait! That's right so we were waiting in line for a little while longer... we didn't have to wait as long as they said.

So it was good... not my favorite for dinner food... I think I got fried chicken and it was pretty darn good... but they are really more known for desserts... and that's really where they excel. The Frozen Hot Chocolate is a fave- the Ice Cream Sundays are great... this is what they do the best.

So yeah... that was nice and fun and all... I guess I have another story about them for my 16th birthday... but I'll save that for next week.

Anywhoo... my 21st birthday did have a slightly similar story before I went out for drinks at TGI Fridays too... It was a tradition for my friends and I to see the Paranormal Activity movies for my birthday because that's around when they came out... and I'm a big fan of Paranormal Activity- so that was fun... even though I think my 21st birthday was Paranormal Activity 4... and that's the worst one (I didn't see The Ghost Dimension... but 3 is my favorite so I probably should watch that.)

Anyway after watching that I was so excited to just go to dinner and get my drink... but someone came up and asked me for a survey. Then I think I got stopped again inside the mall and someone wanted to sell me that Dead Sea mineral stuff... which I hate... so yeah. It was a wait... but it was worth the wait for that pink punk cosmo at TGI Fridays! That is delicious! I mentioned it in last weeks blog I think but they put the cotton candy in and then pour the cosmo on top... and at the bottom it's just sugar and some alcohol and it's delicious.

Hope you liked this story!

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
